Welcome to The Footnotes Cash Chronicles.
The aim is to encourage people to start talking about their money in real life. What you buy, when, and how you FEEL seeing it all recorded at the end of the week.
This series allows us to think about money without all the stresses of confronting our own finances.
No one is perfect with money.
But talking about money makes us smarter.
Name: Alex Turnbell
Job: I work as a bottom feeder at a news organisation in their digital copywriting team
Rent / living situation: I pay $230 per week in rent
Here’s my spending:
Considering I was out five of seven nights this week and wasn’t buying dinner I assumed that my grand total would be a lot smaller. It’s really embarrassing seeing how much money I have spend on nails, hair and things that I put on my face. Also – my diet could use with some work.
